Lord of Rot

Chapter 472 The Heartthrob’s Prom Invitation

A sufficiently mysterious appearance is enough.

If the conversation continued, the secret would be revealed, and Li Qi left quite decisively.

Leave room for your imagination, pat your butt and leave.

However, Centaur Baker did not really dare to discuss compensation matters with Vito. Since the adults would no longer pursue the case, it would be a slap in the face for him to covet the slightest benefit.

If the matter is left to an ogre or a manticore to talk about, they will definitely open their mouths. They may open their mouths and let Vito and others take off their clothes and jump into their mouths, especially cannibals. The devil will definitely make everyone roll around in the manure pit first, and then jump into his mouth after being soaked with enough flavor, so as to satisfy the peculiar taste of smelling bad and delicious food.

In the end, Vito and others were allowed to go back without any punishment, but they were also not allowed to enter the underground world rashly, and they had to restrict others from entering.

The ogres were obviously reluctant to this item. If no one died, they wouldn't be able to eat snacks.

If there is a need, they can also barter and exchange things from the surface world with the underground world, but neither party intends to go further, and the so-called transaction is only superficial and polite.

During a thrilling underground journey, Vito walked towards the entrance of the rift valley under the "protection" of the centaurs.

"What are the nails on the hooves of your colt?" Baker looked at the horse under Vito's crotch. He had noticed from the previous battle that the opponent's horse not only ran very fast, but was also very stable.

Horse people are confident that they have extremely strong stability in running, at least better than human cavalry. Humans need constant training with war horses to gradually form cooperation, while horse people run instinctively, and a foal that is just born can do it. make it happen.

But when the two sides charged against each other, the centaurs actually lost to the human cavalry. Part of the reason was the defensive power of the equipment. The collision of flesh and steel caused a greater impact.

But in order to make the heavy body run more steadily, there are many different things on the horse's hooves.

"It's a horseshoe." Vito stopped, lifted the left front hoof of the war horse, and explained: "Nailing the horseshoe to the horse's shoe can reduce the wear and tear of the horse's hoof, and make the horse run more comfortably and stably."

"I saw it." Baker nodded, sighing in his heart at the wonderful creation of human beings. Without four hooves, they can run faster than centaurs in their own way. If one day they can find a way to make themselves stronger than ogres, they will be stronger than centaurs. The manticore was more ferocious, and Baker was not surprised.

The two sides chatted, allowing Vito to understand the underground world more clearly, especially for "that adult". From Baker's words, he was full of respect for him. He ended the chaos and brought a stable life. It was simply unified. As great as the king of the underworld.

However, Vito has some objections to the description of "stable life", because as far as he knows, those big guys need to eat meat, and their appetites are surprisingly large. In the past, when various races competed with each other, it was easy to say, but now they are integrated together, and they cooperate with each other to prey on the weak. There will definitely be an imbalance, and the weak may die.

Will they attack the surface after the prey underground is eaten?

But he asked himself again, if humans stabilized the interior, would they attack the underground, even if there was nothing good there?

The answer is, of course!

Vito kept the speculation in his mind. After arriving at the entrance, he said goodbye to Baker and left quickly with the team.

These matters need to be informed to the prince as soon as possible, but considering that the other party currently has no ill intentions, there is no need to spare any effort to provoke a mysterious strong man. They are already busy enough.

……

After Li Qi returned to the Porcupine Territory, he threw himself on the bed and fell asleep. Even with the black dragon around, the continuous teleportation consumed a huge amount of mental power and made his head dizzy.

After waking up and looking at the gray sky outside the window, Li Qi couldn't tell whether it was just dawn or getting dark.

He sat up and shook the bedside bell.

"My lord, I am Pitchfork."

"Give me a glass of honey water, thank you."

"Yes, coming right away."

When Li Qi drank the honey water soaked in extraordinary honey, he felt much better. When he asked the time again, it was evening instead of early morning.

The severe winter still enveloped the entire castle, so Li Qi had to start thinking about the necessity of heating. From a technical point of view, it was not difficult.

Just when he was thinking about where to rebuild Porcupine Castle, or to find Thomas scholars to study the feasibility of magic floor heating, he saw the students who came to the castle to study at night school.

There was a bustling crowd of people.

They were restricted to study in a specially designated area of ​​Porcupine Castle. The castle was very large enough to accommodate them. Some people had been coming in to study for a long time, but everyone strictly abided by the requirements. No one dared to wander around.

Everyone saw Li Qi and stopped to say hello.

"Good night, sir!" The voice was messy, but the excitement on his face was not fake.

"Good night, ladies and gentlemen," Li Qi responded with a smile and a nod.

This group of children is the future of the porcupine collar. Those with good grades can fill the talent hole at the middle level. Those with poor grades, after receiving education, will know better about the odds and have an advantage even if they do some physical work.

As they start to accumulate, the development of the territory will only get better and better.

He looked at a young man with yellow hair. Li Qi still remembered him as the earliest apprentice of a spell caster.

The other person was holding something like a pillow in his arms.

"Sir, what is that?"

Hot water bottle?

Today's porcupine collars do not have such a high level of craftsmanship.

"Sir, this is the magic item we learned to make with Teacher Toma." The other party brought the item to Li Qi, but his cheeks were a little red.

Li Qi took it and found that it felt very soft, a bit like grasping silicone. He looked at the embarrassed and red-faced boy and immediately understood that in adolescence, it is normal to have needs.

Sure enough, LSP can promote productivity. With the advent of constant-temperature magic milk balls, the Magic Fiji Monument probably won’t be too late.

"There is a magic circle inside," the other party explained: "There are also some leftover materials. As long as some spiritual power is poured into it regularly, it can maintain a constant temperature. In the winter, when my hands are too cold to write, it helps a lot. .”

"It's a good invention." Li Qi returned the magic hot water bottle, and of course he grabbed it a few more times. He felt that it felt pretty good and was quite a relief.

But it is a pity that spiritual power must be instilled, which means that most of the night school students present cannot use this thing. This is exclusive to spellcasters.

The training of students has begun to bear fruit, and Li Qi is still in a good mood. From now on, he will not have to worry about how to poach people every day. He can train talents in large quantities. Poaching other lords will no longer be his main job, but Incidentally.

When Li Qi went to the restaurant to eat, he would always be prepared to prepare a meal for the lord.

After the meal, the footman hurried over with a letter.

"Sir, someone from Tieshi City sent a letter."

"Thank you" Li Qi wiped his hands and took the letter.

He opened the letter and found that the handwriting was very familiar, as if it belonged to the 'heartthrob'.

"I will be giving a ball on the second night of February, and you are hereby invited to attend, your friend Becky."

Their letters were as concise as ever.

"Why is there suddenly a dance?" Li Qi felt as if he had missed something.

His recent busy schedule has nothing to do with Dongxia, and he doesn't have a deep understanding of the situation here.

It wasn't until he asked his men to inquire about the caravans who had recently been to Ironstone City for business, and then met Lacey Simon who happened to be attending night school in the castle, that he knew that the "heartthrob" Becky was about to get engaged, and the person she was engaged to was It has a great background.

It was Mado Frye who had just inherited the title of baronet.

Unlike Li Qi, who was a country baron, the other party was a wealthy man from the middle of the kingdom. It was said that he could earn 1000 gold days a year.

After decades of accumulation, his family's financial resources are extremely strong.

The marriage with Tieshi City is a strong alliance.

However, Lacey Simon, who brought the news, said to Li Qi: "According to my chat with friends in Dongxia, the Frye family completely fell in love with the eldest prince and Miss Evangelion after they got engaged. A baron who openly supports the eldest prince."

The fact that Li Qi did not give face to the eldest prince was not hidden at first. It was widely spread throughout the upper-class aristocratic circles. Of course, the news was mostly about the power of the artillery.

At first, the Monkey Island Tuna family happily defected to the eldest prince, but they were beaten to a pulp by Li Qi.

The eldest prince came to Li Qi to "beg for mercy" with "full sincerity".

He used his nostrils to plead with Li Qi. Li Qi promised that he had never seen such a kind prince, but he hated counting other people's nose hairs.

However, Li Qi did not give face to the eldest prince and did not stop his thunderous methods. The Tuna family was defeated and the two sides did not deal with it.

Lacey's meaning is very simple. It is best for Li Qi not to attend that dance, because from then on, Baron Simon, who has always been independent from the world, may completely fall to the eldest prince. Li Qi, who cannot deal with the eldest prince, goes to attend. You must be feeling uncomfortable at the dance.

"The ball must be full of families related to the eldest prince," Lacey said worriedly, "You will definitely..."

lose face.

He didn't dare to do it openly, but his hands were definitely not clean secretly. From the first day of taking the noble class, Lacey knew that no matter how strong the enemy was, loyalty to my lord was the first priority.

"It's just a dance." Li Qi didn't care at all: "When Miss Becky came to my birthday party, I couldn't refuse her. Sending her blessings is what a friend should do."

Reacher is not very interested in political struggle, and he admits that he is not good at it.

Of course, the most fundamental reason is that the so-called political struggle between nobles is a struggle of force, and Li Qi happens to have a little bit of confidence in his own strength.

As long as the eldest prince didn't directly kill his father and become the king, Li Qi had nothing to fear.

"There's still a lot of time until February, and I want to choose a suitable gift."

Lacey looked at Li Qi with a strange expression.

Becky Simon's reputation is not low. Is it possible that her lord is also one of the guests in her bed?
